The movie sets in Lord of the Rings set the bar rather high when it comes to creating massive fantasy worlds that your actors can run around in. But there have been other incredible, large-scale movie sets — from the disaster of the capsizing boat cities of Waterworld, to the art nouveau dystopia of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Here are some of our favorites.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House (1924)

The home with ancient Maya-based design was built in 1924, and used in various movies: the exterior was seen in House On Haunted Hill (1959), it was a private residence in The Day Of The Locust (1975), and used in Blade Runner (1982) for few seconds.
